swim, ride, run

Easy swim this morning before school, by myself at Dimple Dell with all my old people friends.

Today's XC workout was hard and HOT...

We did a mile hard at the beginning and I was with the girl's group which went a 6:30. Then we ran the Best Buy loop pretty slowly, but some of the girls weren't feeling too hot today. Murphy got mad at us for all the water breaks. The last hard mile felt really good too, and Ashley, Julie, and I ran a 6:40, which I was happy about after a long, tiring day.

XTERRA Nats in Snowbasin was arguably my best race I've ever had. I felt really rested and strong through the entire race, and one thing that helped was eating and drinking early during the bike to help with the last half of the race.

Swim - 27:59, 6th amateur.

Bike - 1:55:50, 5th amateur.

Run - 55:40, 8:50/mile, 11th amateur.

Finish - 3:19:33, 7th amateur, 2nd in my age group.

Hannah Rae won both my age group and overall amateur in 3:03... She is crazy fast! Also, Emma took 4th in the pro field in 2:48, and won top American series leader. I'm stoked about the results! It wasn't easy, and I have lots of people to thank for the success this year! YAY!
